File Conversion Yields Missing Bar

Post » Thu Jun 25, 2015 10:14 am

The other day, I ran all my icon and texture files through XNConvert to convert all .tga's and .bmp's to .dds's. (-wow, cleaned out about 4GB of overhead!) All seems well so far except that a bar in stats view seems to have disappeared.

Does anybody have a clue what file might have gone AWOL?

I tried substituting all the original files with the names 'menu_button_...', 'menu_head_...' etc.to no avail. Thanks.

Try placing https://www.dropbox.com/s/75vf08flw4pphy0/menu_divider.dds?dl=0 file into your Data Files\Textures directory. If it fixes the problem, compare the two in an image editor and see what happened to the color channels.

That's the one! ..although I could have sworn it was one of the originals I tried substituting back in. At any rate, your file worked, thank you.

That's all I've run across so far. If I find any other problems in future, perhaps I'll compile a list.

(I'm not entirely sure I did the conversion properly. Help is a little sketchy for XNConvert. Specifically, is it good or not good to check the box 'preserve color profile' - I'm a real greenhorn at graphics

- if anyone cares to answer. No big.).

I just use http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/12801 with the Morrowind settings recommended by abot.

No idea how to find that specific post to link to it, but here's the ini settings I copied:

[MORROWIND]Preserve_File = textures\_land_default.tgaSet_Icons32x32 = Icons\*Set_NoMipmaps = Icons\*Set_NoResize = BookArt\*Set_NoMipmaps = BookArt\*Set_NoMipmaps = target.*Set_NoMipmaps = scroll.*=begin abotSet_Icon32x32 = Icons\*Preserve_File = textures\menu_*Preserve_Folder = distantlandSet_NoMipmaps = Splash\*Set_NoMipmaps = Textures\compass.*Set_NoResize = *\cursor*Set_NoMipmaps = *\cursor*=end abot
